About ITF Union

An international Taekwon-Do organization dedicated to unity, cooperation and the global development of the art, inspired by the original teachings of General Choi Hong Hi.

Unity • Cooperation • Tradition

Who We Are

A global Taekwon-Do community since 2015

ITF Union was created in 2015 by a group of Grandmasters and Masters who wanted to preserve and promote the original Taekwon-Do taught by General Choi Hong Hi. From the beginning, the focus has been clear: bring practitioners together, regardless of nationality, affiliation, race or creed.

Today, ITF Union connects practitioners in more than 100 countries through a spirit of cooperation between national associations, groups and individual clubs. Each member retains its identity and autonomy, while sharing the conviction that Taekwon-Do grows stronger when we work together.

Above all, we believe Taekwon-Do is more than a set of techniques. It is a way of life based on discipline, respect and continuous self-improvement, values that we strive to transmit to new generations.

How We Work

Cooperation instead of division

● We encourage cooperation and dialogue between different groups, rather than competition or fragmentation.
● We rely more on mutual respect and shared principles than on rigid constitutions or complex by-laws.
● Our leadership team coordinates events, championships, courses and projects that keep the Union active all year long.
● Every club, association or instructor that joins is treated with the same respect, regardless of size or origin.

Our Mission

Our mission is to preserve the true spirit of Taekwon-Do, keeping General Choi’s teachings alive while opening doors for practitioners from all backgrounds to train, grow and share together.

We work to create an environment where unity is more important than division, where tradition walks together with development, and where Taekwon-Do is practiced with integrity on and off the mat.
